To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, HUGO R. HENDRICK- soN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Soudan, in the county of St. Louis and State ofMinnesota, have invented a new and useful Pliers, of which the followingis a specication.

My invention relates to combination tools, and the object is to providea handy, useful tool comprising in compact form in a single devicepincel-s, nippers, wire cutter, nail puller, hammer, nut cracker, pipewrench, Ilut wrenches and a screw driver.

In the vaccompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side view of my combinationtool, and a nail extracted by it. Fi 2 is an edge view of Fig. 1 withtwo nails etween the jaws of the pincers. Fig. 3 is a front end viewofthe device with a piece of wire between the wire cutting j aws.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 1 and 2 are a pair ofpincer jaws pivoted at 3 and formed with levers 4 and 5 which areprovided with adjacent serrated faces 6 serving as a nut cracker. Thejaw 2 is formed with a hammer face 7, so that the device may be used asa hammer. Said jaw also has a V-shaped claw 8 in which to' hold nails asindicated at 9 for extracting them. If the nail has no head it may begrasped as 9X between the regular edges of the jaws. The claw 8 alsoserves as a clearing for Wire placed as 10 in Fig. 3 to be out bythe'special Wire-cutting jaws 11 provided closer to the pivot 3. rl'helever 4 has its rear end formed into a socket wrench 12, an open wrench13 and a screw driver 14. The other lever, 5, has its rear end formedwith a wrench of the so-called alligator type, having a V-shaped gap 15with teeth 16 in one side thereof for taking hold of a pipe placed as 17therein. It may also take hold of bolt heads and nuts for turning them.

Having thus described my invention and indicated its use, what I claimis:

A tool comprising a pair of levers crossed and pivoted at the crossing,the front ends of the levers being formed into pincer jaws, one of whichhas a nail pulling claw in it, and rearwardly of such claw and parallelto the jaw having the claw a wire-cutting jaw, and means on the otherjaw for coacting with said Wire-cutting jaw.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

HUGO R. HENDRICKSON.
